Strange include problem

[lauwe]

My project will not build due to the following:



In file included from c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.2\mingw\include/QtCore/qstringlist.h:50,

c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.2\mingw\include/QtCore/qstringmatcher.h:87: error: expected ';' before 'unsigned'


The lines this points to in qstringmatcher.h are:


(61) QStringMatcher(const QChar *uc, int len,
Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive)
(87) const QChar *uc;


I really don't know what to make of this error. Does anyone have a clue ?

Most likely you forgot some ; after some instruction, at least one, here:

QStringMatcher(const QChar *uc, int len,
Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive) ;
Possible other, before some unsigned we can't see in the code snippet you posted ;)

It seems the problem was being caused by a library I had included that had:


#define uc unsigned char

This didn't cause any problems until I (indirectly) included QStringMatcher which uses 'uc' as a variable-name.
